Thank you for the quick reply. Not fooled as I know debt collectors can be ignored but hard when it’s not you they are harassing. Employer is supportive so far… Leak did not come from HSBC as they do not know my employer details. What’s the value in raising concern with HSBC? Appreciate your advice.

Thank you so much. And just thinking more about the UAE banks. What would you recommend in terms of communication with them, aside from clear confirmation of my Uk address? I’m really not in a position to enter into a any sort of payment plan but would like to discharge the debt at some point (though I don’t know how realistic that is). Will I prejudice myself in the future if I don’t now ask them for a hardship consideration? Offsetting of interest/charges etc? Or should I say nothing further and rely on limitations on the collection of the debt years down the line?

It’s been reassuring to read here that HSBC will continue to own the debt. Is there any pattern with what prompts banks to go down a legal route? And are there circumstances where UAE banks do actually sell the debt on to the likes of IDS? I will formally notify the bank of my current UK address. Even if I do that though isn’t there a huge incentive for banks and their agents to deliberately send legal paperwork to old addresses to obtain a CCJ by default? IF that were to happen and it was discovered through credit agencies could it be set aside if you proved you had provided the bank with the correct address? Just thinking through the permutations and trying to figure it out. Help much appreciated.

Hello everyone. So glad this group exists! I’ve been pouring over the threads for the last few days. Left approx £60k of credit card and loan debt behind in Dubai owing to covid job loss. Still unemployed here in UK (despite best efforts) so attempting payment plans direct with the back isn’t an option yet. Been back for around 8 months and I’m currently staying with family as I don’t own a property here or anywhere else. Recently received a first letter from IDR for HSBC. I think I’m safe to ignore for now but just wanted to ask if you think I should confirm the postal address for them to avoid back door CCJ’s to prior UK addresses if they continue to get no response here. I’m listed on the electoral register at the address they’ve written to me at and haven’t lived elsewhere in the UK since 2008. I also have a bank account and a credit card (0 balance!) at this address too. Thanks folks.
